The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1887-06-23

like a thing of life. Now these Same
mules, hitched to an ordinary oanr
pillow, turning over in fine shape ten 90
twelve r. a day, will exert a power
for good. But take these mules, and
hitch them to the same pillow in a cir,
cular form, and what is the result .
Each mule pulls with the same power
and willingness that he did before
but each is laying out his strength in.
dependent of the other, and pulling in
a different direction. The result IS
wear and tear of material, and lost
power and time.
Z This seems to be the day of associa.
ton, cooperation and corporation. Il
seems that the farmer is almost the
last person to call to his aid this i'm.
mems power in the management Of
his domestic economy.
When the farmer shall be broupht
to a full realization Of the immense
power and benefit of the three words
"association, cooperation, and educa.
tion," then will he be given the proper
station that he is entitled to amono
his fellow,men.-Danael Flint, Past
Master California State Grange.

to be obtained from a single acre.
The entire acreage planted by three
hundred farmers in that year averaged
eighty-one bushels of shelled corn to
the acre. In 1886 a larger number
of contestants entered for the prize,
and the average was advanced from
eighty-one bushels to n hundred
and two bushels of shelled corn to the
acre. The premium was won by a
farmer who raised one hundred and
sixty-four bushels of shelled corn to
the acre.
The lesson of these facts and figures
is too plain to require to be stated in
terms. He is no farmer who does not
understand it and who will not know
how to profit byit It has been shown
that by a little prudent outlay, and by
the exercise Of ordinary intelligence
in the study and conduct of his bust
ness, a tiller of the soil in these favor
ed States of the South "can get from
five acres as much cotton as he has
been accustomed to get from sixty
dCICS, dU q OIIldllCI CO0O VI FOoAOA,
and leave the remainder of his land
to be devoted to other purposes.
1t has also been shown that corn
can be p%roftably raised at home, and
these two facts, taken together, afford
a sufficient answer to all the com
plants that are heard year after year
of the failure of agricultural opera
tons in South Carolina and the neigh
boring States. The fault in nearly
every case is with the farmer himself,
not with the seasons or the land. Poor
crops are simply the protest of a
starved and justly indignant soil
against poor treatment. The time
will come, as we have said before,
when, instead of proclaiming his re-
newed failures every year at the
crossroads and in the county towns,
the farmer in South Carolina will be
ashamed to acknowledge that he has
failed, because of the confession, in
e%xtricably involved in such acknowl-
ment, that he is only less intelligent
than his neighbors.- Charleston News

THE TOBACCO OUTLOOK AGAIN
Based on the Short Acreage for the
Present Year.

By careful investigation the Journal
finds that it's estimate of four weeks
ago in regard to the acreage for 1887
is correct, and that the highest aver,
age for this years crop cannot reach
over 60 per cent. Many parties were
apprehensive that, at the last mo-
ment, the farmers would put in a full
crop, but when we made our estimate
we took into consideration the fact
that the planters of North Carolina
and Virginia were actually umaJe to
plant but little over half a crop of to-
bacco this year. Our surmises were
correct and the point our manufacture
ers and spectators have to remember
now is that full 40 per cent. of an
average crop of the weed will be want
ing next fall and winter on the ware
house floors.
And how will this affect the tobacco
business ? is asked on every side. 1t
will simply have the effect Of putting
the trade in a perceptably better con-
dition and nothing more Our tobacco
men need not look for any great ad-
vantage in prices, for the world already
has a year and a half supply on hand.
We believe the tobacco grown this
year will be of a decided better quail
ity and hence will sell for better prices
but as for a general rise in the market
we do not look for it yet. We should
ho oop4or+ 70 L,or- +bo+ +bo mo for
once, is reduced and not increased, as
has been the custom heretofore. 1t
should be a satisfaction to know that
the trade has, at last, a feint hope of
recovery from the terrible illness that
has chung to it so tenaciously during
the past two years. And more than
this we should be thankful that the
mismanagement Of the crop heretofore
is giving way to more sensible methods
In the culture of the weed.
We have recently interviewed all
the leading manufacturers in North
Carolina and a large number in Nlr-
ginia and we find the great majority
of them working on full time and IN
fair . spirit. They have studied the
trade closely and look for a healthy
future. The outlook just now is more
favorable than it has been for some
time. And while we cannot reason
ably expect any great jump in the to-
bacco business, we may confidently
look for better days ahead.-Southern
